First off, I am not wrong about whether or not Freddie Gray (or any one else for that matter) could possibly break their own neck by purposely banging their head against a wall, any wall. It just does not happen. You may sustain some serious injuries as a result of your self-inflicted wounds, but you are NOT going to break your neck. It simply does not happen.
Yes you were wrong.
You clearly stated the following which is wrong.
"Well, the damage to his voice box could only come from external physical abuse. In other words, someone had to compress his larynx for that to happen."
Supposedly, his fall after breaking his neck did that.
As for this banging argument and requiring something else. :doh
He is thrashing about and slips.
That is still a result of his banging.
He is ramming/banging his head agaisnt the rear door and slams it into the bolt, shifting and concentrating the force breaking his neck.
Still the result of his ramming/banging.
I simply said something had to have happened to him while he was in transit to the police station. Were the police driving erratically? Maybe. Did they take a sudden sharp turn, make a sudden stop or acceleration that might have throw Mr. Gray off balance causing him to lose his footing and bump his head with lethal force against the wall? Very plausible.
This is you not paying attention to the previously provided info.
Again:
That is the evidence, not something else.
In fact, the link video you provided concludes that's exactly what happened.
No. "naughty In fact it makes no such conclusion that this was cause by the movement of the van.
The report clearly stated "and for some reason, went flying in the van".
Some reason! And as the evidence says the van was not being driven erratically, speeding or making sudden stops, the focus goes right back Gray's actions.
So, while you're trying to make me look foolish, maybe you should re-examine why you were so quick to accept another "thug's" account of Mr. Gray's self-inflicted wounds before you subsequently discovered this video.
The only one that can make you look foolish is you by your replies.
And this nonsense about believing another thug is just that, nonsense.
For some reason people do not understand that there needs to be something there to question any persons word.
Simple speculation is not sufficient.
As it stands, it is evidence, and it happens to coincide with the physical evidence.
